Replace the bun-managed installs of @google/gemini-cli, @openai/codex and @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent with Nix packages from the numtide/llm-agents.nix flake input (updated daily upstream, binaries served from cache.numtide.com). - flake.nix: add llm-agents input (no nixpkgs follows, per upstream guidance to keep binary cache hits) and the numtide cache/key - common.nix: add codex, gemini-cli and pi to home.packages; drop the corresponding npm packages from packageTools.npmPackages - rebuild.sh: include llm-agents in the --update-unstable input set - CLAUDE.md: document the new mechanism The bun/uv packageTools mechanism stays for non-agent tools such as @googleworkspace/cli. Note: the agents are now installed on all platforms (previously macOS-only due to bun dynamic linking issues on NixOS).

What
Replaces the bun-managed installs of the LLM agent CLIs with Nix packages from numtide/llm-agents.nix (formerly
nix-ai-tools; ~1.6k stars, 100+ agents packaged, auto-updated daily, prebuilt binaries viacache.numtide.com). Alternatives considered — the forks (e.g. Qumulo/llm-agents) and single-tool flakes (e.g. sadjow/claude-code-nix) are all smaller; this is the de-facto standard flake for AI coding agents.@openai/codexcodex@google/gemini-cligemini-cli@earendil-works/pi-coding-agentpiChanges
llm-agentsinput, pluscache.numtide.comsubstituter + trusted key innixConfig. Deliberately nonixpkgs.follows— upstream builds/caches against its own pinned nixpkgs-unstable, and afollowswould forfeit binary cache hits (same reasoning as thenixos-raspberrypipin).codex,gemini-cliandpiadded tohome.packages; the three npm packages removed frompackageTools.npmPackages.llm-agentsadded to the--update-unstableinput set (matches its daily release cadence).The bun/uv
packageToolsmechanism is untouched and still used for non-agent tools (@googleworkspace/clion zap/plumbus,sqlit-tuivia uv).Behavior change
The agents were previously macOS-only (bun dynamic-linking issues on NixOS). As Nix packages they now install on all hosts, including
rpi5-homelab. If you don't want them on the Pi, move the three entries fromcommon.nixtonix/shared/home/darwin.nix'shome.packages.Manual follow-ups after merge
flake.lockhas nollm-agentsentry yet. Runnix flake lockand commit (or let the first rebuild write it). CI'snix flake checklocks it on the fly, so the PR is still validated.bun update -gkeeps upgrading them alongside the Nix ones:trusted-users(same note as the existing cachix one at the top of flake.nix).
